PRECAUTIONS Precautions It is best to consult a professional installation specialist to help with your installation. Prior to installation, always follow these rules: Carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting installation. Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit, fire, injury or death. Use high quality connectors to prevent fire or damage to the unit. Check the installation area before drilling. Make sure you won t drill into the gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Avoid running wires over sharp edges. Use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed through metal. 3
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The following tools may be needed for installation of your RetroSound speakers #2 Phillips screwdriver Battery post wrench Hand held drill with assorted bits Wire strippers Wire crimpers Wire cutters Included in your box are two speakers, speaker wires, speaker grilles (some models) and mounting screws. Before installation, disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent damage to your system. Mounting 1. Run speaker wires before installing your speakers. Avoid sharp edges that could fray or cut the wiring. Use rubber grommets to protect any wires that need to be routed through metal. Use high quality connectors to minimize signal loss. Never run wires outside the vehicle. 2. Determine the area where the speakers are to be mounted. Ensure that the area is large enough to accommodate the entire speaker diameter and that there is enough mounting depth for the speaker magnet. If you are mounting your speakers in the doors, check all door functions (windows, door locks, etc) through their entire range of motion to ensure the speaker will not obstruct them. 4 Copyright 2016 Retro Manufacturing, LLC
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3. If you are cutting speaker holes, refer to the specification chart to determine the nominal mounting diameter. 4. Using the speaker grille as a template, mark the locations for the speaker mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8-inch drill bit. 5. Feed the speaker wires through the opening and connect to the speaker terminals. Take care to connect the negative wire to the negative (-) speaker terminal, and positive to the positive (+) speaker terminal. 6. Fit the speaker into the cutout. Fit the grille over the speaker. Mount them using the enclosed screws. Tighten until the speaker is snug and in place to prevent rattling. Do not overtighten screws. 5
